A Better Mouse Trap And Saving Image Path Problems
Sep 22, 2006
I'm using GHudson's A Better Mouse Trap code. It works great. However, I added other code from http://www.databasedev.co.uk/image-form.html to get and save the path to image files and now I think there is a conflict between the sets of code.
The Images tab on the form frm_CreateNewSpec is where I have problems. The error messages are definitely from Mouse Trap...I just don't know how to resolve the problem.
I've probably missed something simple, but don't know what.
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated by this novice.
I need a way at preventing users from using the scroll funtion on mouses from creating a multitude of balnk records and hence was looking at ghudson better mouse trap as a way of doing this... this is the way forward isnt it?
Looking at the code it starts with... 'For those of us not using Access XP, we have a challenge to prevent 'our users from advancing to another record if they do not use the controls 'we want them to use or to prevent them from bypassing our validation 'procedures too ensure the current record is okay to be saved.
How do you prevent this from happening in Access XP?? Access XP = 2002 does it not?
First off sorry about the really bad layout…..I don’t know how to do all the fancy stuff but really wanted to share this because it seams like a lot of people wanted help with this.
So here is what I have going on.
I have a form to add a record, and I have a number of fields, then an “Add Record” button and a “Cancel Record” Button. What I wanted to do was:
A: Stop the form from going to another “New Record Form” when moving the mouse wheel B: Stop the form from going to another “New Record Form” when pressing the “Tab” key
Here is what you got to do to solve the mouse problem:
1.) Create a field in the form that has the Name “MouseWheel Move”, and set the “Visible” property to “No” 2.) Enter the Fallowing: Private Sub Form_Load() Me![MouseWheel Move] = "No" End Sub 3.) Enter The Fallowing: Private Sub Form_MouseWheel(ByVal Page As Boolean, ByVal Count As Long) Me![MouseWheel Move] = "Yes"End Sub 4.) Enter The Fallowing: Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If Me![MouseWheel Move] = "Yes" Then DoCmd.CancelEvent Me![MouseWheel Move] = "No" End If End Sub
Here is what you got to do to solve the Tab problem:
The last item on my form is my “Cancel” button; so when the focus is on my “Cancel” button (ie. the last item on the form) and I press tab I want the focus to go to the first field on my form.
Private Sub Cancel_Button_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode = 9 Then Me![Field Name for the First Item on the Form].SetFocus End If End Sub
One more thing, I am using Microsoft Access 2002 (10.6771.6735) SP3 and it works fine
I have a form that I would like to update a picture on using VBA. The source of the picture path is in part a query that is not bound to the form. So far I have the following code that is pretty much working, but with a couple flaws.
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() LoadDefaultPicture End Sub Sub LoadDefaultPicture() Dim db As DAO.Database
[Code] ....
This is working. However, when I change the record the picture flashes the current picture once and then loads the new picture. It is like it reloads the current picture then loads the new one. I'm hoping there is a way to get rid of the flash.
Also, the code fails here: strDefaultPictureName = rs.Fields("AttachmentName")
When the query does not return a record. I can definitely fix this by adding an if statement to check for a record, but I'm kind of perplexed at why it is failing at that line. I would expect it to assign an empty string to that variable name and then fail on the next command where I try and set the ".Picture" property of the image.
i have database with products and i want to add a picture for each one In the table of products i have a field "Image path" D:dun.jpeg how can i insert this text-path from the form and not manually from table? for example :with a button ADD IMAGE from the form and browse file.......
Code: Option Compare Database Private Sub CreateCrosstab_Click() Dim dbs As dao.Database, rst As Recordset, rstInsert As dao.Recordset Set dbs = CurrentDb Call DeleteTable("FinalTable")
I am trying to link an images (.png) onto a form. I have a folder of all the images I want but I want the path to be relative. So that if I move the access file and the images folder to a new location, it will still work.
In the properties for the image, It works fine as C:UsersjohnDesktopimage1.png but what I am looking for is the ability to use "imagesimage1.png" as the file will always be in that relative folder to the db.
What is the correct syntax for this? putting image1.png in the same directory and just using image1.png works, but this won't be very tidy with 100+ images.
I know from searching it is possible through VBA by getting the root directory of the folder and appending the filename. Don't really want to go this root. I also don't particularly want to create a table to store the images or links.
Hello. I've searched and read a few threads concerning image controls on forms and haven't been able to find a solution to my problem (yet). Anyway, I have a form with two image controls (imgOK1 & imgOK2). The previous and current setting of the "Picture" property for both images is set to "C:MOMGraphicsfilename.bmp". The location of my images has changed and will change for each user which is "C:Documents and Settingsuser.nameMOMGraphicsfilename.bmp". I'm using the following code to set the .Picture property on form load:
Dim ImgPath ImgPath = "C:Documents and Settings" & Environ("username") & "My DocumentsMOMGraphics" Me.imgOK1.Picture = ImgPath & "imgButton-OK1_25%.bmp" Me.imgOK2.Picture = ImgPath & "imgButton-OK2_25%.bmp"
When the form is opened, an error stating that the image located at "C:MOMGraphicsfilename.bmp" cannot be found; once for each image control. Then the form loads and .Picture properties appear to be set correctly as they are displayed fine. I've tried to clear the .Picture properties for both image controls using the properties editor but the original path returns as soon as the property loses focus. Is there a way to programatically set this property and make it stick so the errors are not displayed?
I am trying to write some code to open an existing excel form, populate it, and save it with a custom filename in a directory that is built using variables I have declared.
The only part I am having difficulty with is setting the pathname. Here is my code:
Code: 'Build path to save file to spath = "S:ContractsGeomatics LABSigned" & Company 'Build File name Filename = "" & reservationNumberforForm & " " & Company & "-Payment Schedule"
'Save the payment schedule to the S: drive 'xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="S:ContractsGeomatics LABSigned" & Filename, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="" & spath & " " & Filename, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.Saved = True
I have a piece of code that I'm using to display an image on a report based on a path saved to each record. the code is:
Code: Option Compare Database Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If IsNull(Me.ImagePath) Then Me.ImgPic.Picture = "O:BellinghamIntranetProductionLabelsNo Label.bmp" Else Me.ImgPic.Picture = Me.ImagePath End If End Sub
It seems like every few months the code crashes access and then never works again. When I debug, the part that is highlighted is:
Code: Me.ImgPic.Picture = Me.ImagePath
The only way i've found to correct it is to delete the report and the module and copy them back in from a backup database. What could be causing this code to crash or how to stabalize my database to prevent this from happening again.
I'm using Pat Hartman's code to select items from a list box and then append the records to a table. If a user doesn't select anything before clicking the buttom I'm trying to give them an error message. I've tried it in various places but can't get it to work. The attached is giving me the error message regardless of whether they have selected anything or not.
On Error GoTo Err_CreateAttendanceRecords_Click
Dim i As Variant Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim qd As DAO.QueryDef
Set dbs = CurrentDb Set qd = dbs.QueryDefs!qrynewvaluations2 Set rst = qd.OpenRecordset
If i = 0 Then MsgBox "You must select at least one property before continuing" Exit Function End If
Next i Set rst = Nothing Set qd = Nothing MsgBox "Records Created"
exit_createattendancerecords_Click: Exit Function
Err_CreateAttendanceRecords_Click: Select Case Err.Number Case 3022 'ignore duplicate keys Resume Next Case Else MsgBox Err.Number & "-" & Err.Description Resume exit_createattendancerecords_Click End Select
If you open the attached sample you will see what my problem is.
I have Form /Subform with look up combo that will not allow duplicate entries in same subform record. This works fine, access displays an error when a duplicate has been added as it should. What I want to do is trap that error myself and display a msgbox that will allow the entry to undo (the msgbox undo etc I can handle, it the trapping of the error)
Hi all , Can anyone tell me about how to embedd image in image control using imagelist. I added the 5 images in imagelist at design time and added the following code. image.picture=imagelist.listimages(1).picture but iam getting error.error no :2110,cannot open the file . thank u, Siva
I have a form with 22 data fields. There are 4 entry flow paths. (1) is 1 to 9, 10, 20 to 22 (2) is 1 to 9, 11 to 14, 20 to 22 (3) is 1 to 9, 15 to 17, 20 to 22 (4) is 1 to 9, 15 to 17, and stop at 19. If information is in Field 10, then I need to prohibit entry in the other 3 paths. How can I do this?
I know this topic has been covered over and over but I've searched and searched and can't find my answer. I did find one post with a link to a possible answer but the link was broken.
My form has a required field. When a user attempts to X out of the form I have code in the Before Update event that checks this field and if it is blank:
MsgBox "Payment Terms must be filled in before closing the form" Me.PaymentTerms.SetFocus Cancel = True
The message box appears, but then the
You can't save this record at this time...blah blah blah.....
dialog appears and then the form closes.
How can I prevent the user from closing the form if this field is blank? It seems like once the X is clicked there is no turning back. I realize that I could remove the close button (X) from the form and use a command button instead but this may only mess up the users who have been using this DB for years. Is there any way to go backward once the close button has been clicked?
1.i trapped error 3314 and other errors at my custm buttons(save,edit...) but... at my 2 forms(one single and the other continuous, access gives me an error about an empty field in a table (primary id), when i press tab (it moves to next record). The same action has my continuous form when i click at an empty field at next record or pressing tab with empty values at primary fields.
What can i do to post my own messages?
2. I have a text box (a) that takes value form an other text box (b): b=2*a. both text boxes send values to a table How can i prevent user from chanching the value on (b) text box?
thanks in advance Dimitris Greece (sorry for my bad english)
How do I programmatically force an error dialog to make a certain choice?
I'm able to trap the dialog via the following code:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) If DataErr = 7787 Then 'record updated by another "user" (subform) MsgBox "Error trapped!" Response = acDataErrContinue Else Response = acDataErrDisplay End If End Sub
Problem is, if I bypass the 7787 error in this manner, it defaults to dropping the changes, rather than saving the record, which is what I want. (Both are choices on the dialog.)
I posted this question about an hour ago but I seem to have been logged out by the time that I actually pressed "send", so I don't know whether it was posted correctly - I can't find it!
I've created four buttons on a form to negotiate my way through the records. When I come to the end, a message box is shown stating that the next record cannot be found (it doesn't exist). Can I trap this message and use it to activate some code? I thought about a form popping up (in "corporate" colours to match the remainder of the database) or a form asking whether I want to add another record.
I looked at the code that Access generated when I made the buttons, and I saw the following:
I "remmed" out the middle line, but the automatic message box still appeared. I added a line of code: <MsgBox Err.Number>, but that didn't give a result, so I guess that the message box that's being shown isn't generated via this snippet of code.
I know that I could disable the relevant button when the record number reaches the end or add another button to add a new record, but I'd like to trap this automatic message box. Can I do so, and, if so, how?
i am using access against an Oracle DB through an ODBC driver, and when appending records to a local table, if access gets an Oracle record error "#deleted", the append query aborts. . . that's fine, but I can't figure out how to trap the error to get the rest of the records. . .
Hi, I have a button in a form that loads a report, if there is no data in the report then 2 error messages are displayed, however as these messages have no affect and they do no harm as such I would like to prevent them from being displayed. The error messages are error 91 “invalid use of isnull” error and error 2501 “cancel event error message”
I’ve been able to prevent either error 91 from being displayed or alternatively 2501 using a single if statement but not both of them together using two if statements.
(If error 94 is displayed, I would still like the report to open, error 2501 is displayed after the report is closed if there’s no data & i just want this message not to be shown)
Any ideas what im doing wrong? :confused: any help much appreciated
Regards
Kevin
Below code works ok (to trap just the one error message):
Err_cmdPreview_Click: If Err.Number = 2501 Then ' ignore cancel event error Else MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description End If Resume Exit_cmdPreview_Click
End Sub
But the below code here doesn’t work (when I use 2 if statements to try & trap both of the error messages)
Err_cmdPreview_Click: If Err.Number = 94 Then ' ignore isnull error DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal
Else If Err.Number = 2501 Then ' ignore cancel event error Else MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description End If
